Journal ArticleDOI
A new method for defining balance: promising short-term clinical outcomes of sensor-guided TKA.
TL;DR: Out of all confounding variables, balanced joints were the most significant contributing factor to improved postoperative outcomes (P < 0.001), and odds ratios demonstrate that balanced joints are 2.5, 1.3, and 1.8 times more likely to achieve meaningful improvement in KSS, WOMAC, and activity level, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased satisfaction after total knee replacement using sensor-guided technology
TL;DR: En Ensuring soft-tissue balance by using intra-operative sensors during TKR may improve satisfaction, and no previous study with a mean level of satisfaction that was greater than the reportedlevel of satisfaction of the balanced TKR group in this study is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary TKA Patients with Quantifiably Balanced Soft-Tissue Achieve Significant Clinical Gains Sooner than Unbalanced Patients.
TL;DR: This multicenter evaluation was performed in order to provide 1-year followup of a previously reported group of patients who had sensor-assisted TKA, comparing the clinical outcomes of quantitatively balanced versus unbalanced patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short stems for total hip arthroplasty: Initial experience with the Fitmore™ stem
TL;DR: An initial experience with 500 new short stems used for total hip arthroplasty is reported, with the potential of being more bone conserving by allowing for higher neck retention, maintenance of the medial greater trochanter, and preferential stress transfer to the proximal femur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total Hip Arthroplasty Requiring Subtrochanteric Osteotomy for Developmental Hip Dysplasia: 5- to 14-Year Results
TL;DR: Wear-induced osteolysis was the major reason for revision, probably due to the relatively thin polyethylene liners required for the small acetabular components used in young, active patients.
